@hans_w @freemo first I knew Windows, then Ubuntu 10.1, then leaned about command-line, then WMs, then Tiling WMs, then emacs. And that was all she wrote.

@postroutine emacs has a fine implementation of the OpenSpritz approach to speed reading. https://github.com/emacsmirror/spray

good stuff. I appeciate the distinction of AWK vs SED, which I've been fuzzy on

@freemo Oh, no. Gnome is terrible. I'm with you on that one.

@freemo That's how I felt about Gnome. With KDE, it was the grid workspaces and the extensive customizability that had me on it for years.

@freemo aww!Don't be hating on KDE. When I have to use a GUI WM, it is far and away my favorite.

Nice on the I3, though. Before I found EXWM I enjoyed playing with that one.

@debacle you bet. It does require w3m to be installed to the system, but that's part of the reason it is good.

I, too, am very pleased with my Mastodon <-> Twitter setup, like @writh. Firefox containers and "always open this site in container..." do wonders for keeping it straight, combined with liberal usage of moa.party as per @freemo suggestion!

@debacle okay... upon reading, some of that isn't actually relevant stuff. Sorry!

@debacle W3m-emacs integrates perfectly. No problems, and all the benefits you want. I made some customizations to make it a little more comfortable for me, but nothing except customizer stuff. This is my relevant setup in straight:

```lisp
(use-package w3m
:straight (emacs-w3m :type git :host github :repo "emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m")
:demand t
:defines w3m-filter-configuration
:bind (("C-x M-e" . tsa/transient-w3m)
:map w3m-mode-map
("R" . tsa/w3m-toggle-readability)
("e" . tsa/transient-w3m)
("M-o" . ace-link-w3m))
:custom
(w3m-search-default-engine "duckduckgo")
(w3m-quick-start nil)
(w3m-display-mode 'plain)
(w3m-use-title-buffer-name t))
```

@reddit_lisp@mstdn.jp the big takeaway I get is that lazy in Clojure is easy, and when I get to learning Haskell, there will be a lot more work on that...

@debacle I used eww heavily for a few years. I am also an exwm user. The main reasons I switched to w3m were speed. No more eww stalling my entire emacs process while it loaded something. Plus, some things are rendered better in w3m. I am still getting back the eww readable mode, though.

@writh perfect!

@writh oh. A single checkbox. Nice!

@writh that's lovely! I saw the option somewhere, but don't remember where

@writh @freemo oops. I might have read that on the other one. IG is too Facebooky for me, so I don't actually use it...
